There are two philosophies in pest control. There is the old way of doing pest control, and there is the new way of performing pest maintenance. At Truly Nolen, we believe that proactive pest maintenance to guard against pest problems is far better than reactive pest control that seeks to exterminate pests. When pest control is reactionary, it allows customers to be impacted by pests. Then, if that isn't enough, there is the inconvenience of having someone come and spray or gas the entire structure to arrest an infestation that has gotten out of hand. At the very least, reactive pest control just drives bugs out for a short period. By the time the smell of the bug spray is gone, the pests are back. The secret to great pest control in Pennsylvania is routine pest maintenance that works to address problems before they begin.
The Importance Of Yard And Perimeter Treatments
Our focus, and the focus of our franchise businesses, is to provide effective pest control in critical zones outside of homes and businesses so that limited pest control is needed on the interiors. In fact, our process is so complete, interior treatments are seldom needed. This results in minimal material being used indoors.
Our customers really take notice that we spend a lot of time outside. They know that we work hard outside so that we don't have to do as much work inside. When pest populations around homes and businesses are under control, there are fewer pests trying to get inside.
Environmentally-Responsible Products
There are many things in nature that naturally repel or kill insects. Our philosophy is that, if there is a natural product that can get the job done, that's what should be used. This has led to the use of botanicals, boron, and other naturally derived substances. Also, as a large company, we're able to spend a lot on research and development. This allows us to find effective products that are family-friendly, such as termite products that target the molting process of termites to eliminate colonies, or the use of insect growth regulators to prevent mosquitoes from developing into annoying, biting pests.
Dewebbing
There can be hundreds of eggs hidden in a spider egg sac. If a spider creates its sac in its web, that web could be the source of a significant increase in spider populations. Routine pest visits and dewebbing work to naturally suppress spider populations and prevent indoor sightings.
Interior Protection
One of the best ways to address pests on the inside of a home or business is the application of pest control insulation. The attic space is a common location for pest activity. If pests come into this space and are eliminated, they're not going to be causing trouble in other locations of the home. Pest control insulation is great in that it uses a natural substance called boron, which has similar toxicity to table salt.
What Pennsylvania Pest Control Customers Want
Your customers want their properties to be free of pests, but they don't want to trade one problem for another. They don't want to have to deal with stinky chemicals or pest control products that make them feel sick. When you invest in a Truly Nolen franchise, we guide you in implementing our effective methodology of pest maintenance to proactively address pest problems and reduce the use of control materials on the inside of structures.
